1. Nintendo Revolution gets new name

And the new name is ... "Wii" ...

The official word (Cue rousing male choral background audio):

Introducing... Wii.

As in "we."

While the code-name
"Revolution" expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer.

Wii
will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else.

Wii will put people more in touch with their games ... and each other.
But you're probably asking: What does the name mean?

Wii sounds like
"we," which emphasizes this console is for everyone.

Wii can easily be
remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No
confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.


Wii has a distinctive
"ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of
people gathering to play.

And Wii, as a name and a console, brings
something revolutionary to the world of video games that sets it apart from the
crowd.

So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you.

Because, it's
really not about you or me.

It's about Wii.

And together, Wii
will change everything.
